School Seal:

The spirit of St. James is depicted on the seal by the burning lamp, the symbol of faith and prayer.

The City of Chester is represented by the ship - Ship building is
Chester's important industry.

The symbols of the Apostalate of St. James the Great, the patron saint of the school, are the sword of martyrdom, the pilgrims staff and the drinking shell. These figures form a cross supported by the open book, the symbol of knowledge. Overshadowing this cross are the wings of a dove, emblematic of the Holy Spirit, the inspiration of St. James students.

The spirit and loyalty of St. James High School,
"Quae Sursum Quaerite" -"Seek the things that are above"--are embodied in the seal as the motto.
